Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3957239A1] The present invention relates to a non-invasive method for measuring the motion characteristics of myocardial tissue, wherein the method comprises: transmitting a plurality of generated synchronous orthogonal, phase controllable and adjustable alternating currents with different frequencies to an organism so as to generate a plurality of synchronous periodic AC voltage signals with different frequencies; receiving the periodic AC voltage signals modulated by changes in the organism's heart tissue to obtain the organism's frequency responses; calculating resistances and capacitances of the heart tissue according to the frequency responses; estimating motion characteristics of myocardial tissue according to the resistances and the capacitances. By means of introducing the average longitudinal length of the myocardial cells, and calculating changes in the average longitudinal length of the myocardial cells according to the capacitances, the present invention provides a method for describing the overall longitudinal elasticity of the heart. The present invention provides a method that is continuous, has a high-sampling rate and is non-invasive in order to measure the motion of myocardial tissue at the cellular level, so that relatively subtle abnormal changes in the myocardium can be detected.
